Crystal Palace Live Wire Could Keep Norwich In Premier League

The Palace forward can play centrally or wide and has real pace. He scored ten goals in 30 games in all competitions last season, adding to the eight in 25 from Palace’s debut season in the Premier League.

Still only 24, Gayle rose to prominence as a teenager with a 42 goal season for non-league Bishop’s Stortford. Successful spells at Dagenham & Redbridge and Peterborough followed, before Palace took the player into the big time with a then record £4.5m fee.
